When Gen. Manteuffel. in 1866. levied n
contribution of -. 900. 900 florius (Sl0. 900. =

Karl Won R0thschild was indignant and de
manded: Does your excellcnCy realze the
full meaning of the word million Has your
excellency ever seen million of money!"
The general was nonplussed, as indeed he had
never seen such sum at once, and to get
out of the pickle he altogether RENTED the
contribution. Frankfort thereafter always
considered Rothschild "a bigger man" than

ent. DIR. Strauss, the President, took
the chair. 1t was decided that play
should be rebearsed at once. and put on
the stage at an early date. Several rules
regulating the movements of the Society
were passed. Mr.. Stokes was elected by
and Mr.. Shave as members of the En-
tertainment Committee. 1t was resolved
that a vote of thanks of the members of
the Society be rendered Mrs. Gray for
the use of her rooms, and that the Sec
rotary convey the same to her.
Two hundred new Tole boxes have
been shipped for the use of this Post
office, and will be put in place imme-
diately on arrival. The question of al
lOwance has been satisfactorily adjuste d
with the department and the facilities
for the better accommodation of the
public business so long conte mplated
will be put in place. Considerable out
lay will be necessary, but it is demanded
by the increase in the volume of business
and required by the higher rating of the
office. The same building is retained,
but the whole will be newly arranged
and largely increased accommodation
gained. Preparations for the work have
already commenced and the tempora ~
inconvenience resulting therefrom will
tax the patience of our people only for
twelve hours.

Our Street Committee.

The Street Committee of the Town
Council deserves great credit for the
work now being done. It is of Impor-
lance not only as an improvement of the
thorOughfares, but as bcnefiting very
much the sanitary condition of the city,
and as proofs of a fixed determination 10
give us solid work. Lemon street is no
longer closed in by vista of pines. but
from the crossing of the j., I. * h. w.
Railway track optical proof is easy that
ON an excellent roadway the main artery
for the business Of the town runs straight
and true from the river to the Heights
The bed is thrown up high enough to
be entirely dry, and the streams from
the springs at the foot of the Heights are
conducted into channels and led off TO
the river. By this work alone over two
hundred lots are made Immediately avail
able for residences, and on many of these
dwellings will be quickly placed. Sew
eral fine buildings have been erected in
this neighbOrhOod within the last two
months, and the time is not far distant
when this road will conduct us to Fran
els between lines of stores and DIV llings.
We hope the Council will consider some
plan for paving this highway, and COM
plete the work before next winter.
On several other streets the workmen
of the committee are busy, and the inn
prOvement is marked. The members
deserve the thanks and grateful appre-
citation of all good citizens.
